As in previous years, ISD8 is a networking event that invites researchers on image schemas, conceptual primitives and spatiotemporal reasoning from various scientific disciplines to present their research and discuss ideas for future projects. Unlike many other workshops focused on different topics in one discipline or using one methodology, the Image Schema Day invites researchers from all disciplines and methods but focuses on one main topic.

As such the workshop offers a friendly environment for researchers of all stages interested in presenting and discussing work on the formal and analytical treatment of conceptual patterns, embodied cognition and the interdisciplinary exploration of human thought!


TYPES OF SUBMISSION

-- Abstracts for presentation only (2 pages) (NOTE: these are not included in the proceedings.)
-- Extended abstracts/short papers (5-9 pages) of work in progress
-- Summaries of recently published articles (2-5 pages). (NOTE: only summaries of 5 pages are included in the proceedings.)
-- Research papers (10-12 pages) discussing novel research not published (or under review) at another venue.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
(the broadest of interpretations of) an image-schematic focus includes:

-- ontological/epistemological analysis of image schemas
-- analysis of conceptual metaphors
-- formalisation of affordances and force dynamics
-- spatiotemporal reasoning
-- commonsense reasoning
-- conceptual modelling of semantic primes
-- use cases of embodied cognition
-- formal approaches to analogical reasoning
-- formal concept analysis
-- applications in cognitive robotics
-- image-schematic interface design
-- semantic art and literature analysis


All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions will be included in the ISD8 proceedings and presented at the workshop!

Submission instructions can be found on the event website.
